The grand opening of my new website! Serves as a personal blog and portfolio (yet to be uploaded). Tell me what you think.

FYI - Looks best in Firefox

it's been a long time since i've actually been interested enough to critique a site.

first off, let me state that i hate the fact that your site is optimized for one browser; i dislike anything that says "looks best on [insert browser name here]", because i believe a good design, especially a portfolio, should be compatible -and capable of being showcased-on any browser. with that said, please fix it for ie and safari.

second, the little slits you have on top of your banner and below it tricks the eye into thinking it's misaligned. it would be cleaner if you just got rid of that altogether. if you want to frame it with some kind of thin/thick pixel border, that will solidify the look, but using slits of images to frame the top and bottom is messy imo.

i like the colour scheme and organization. i even like that you use a different tone of blue for your date and title, since the same colour teal throughout would look boring. if you want more "pop", you could add a complementary orange in there somewhere, but it's not needed. since it is a portfolio site, it's a good idea to stick to the simple path and let the work speak rather than a loud layout.

all in all, good job.

That was good!

I not fond of the fact that my site works well in only one browser. I plan on fixing that.

Thanks again for the positive comments!
